The Day Federica Torzullo Was Found

The morning was dominated by Donald Trump's escalating trade war, as headlines tracked his threat of tariffs against European nations over the Greenland dispute. Italian editors followed Prime Minister Meloni’s attempts to mediate and European Parliament President Metsola’s firm refusal to sell the island, while reports from Iran detailed a massive death toll among protesters. By midday, the editorial focus shifted abruptly to domestic crime following the discovery of a body at the workplace of Claudio Agostino Carlomagno, the husband of Federica Torzullo, who had been missing since January 8. Major outlets prioritized live updates from Anguillara Sabazia, eventually confirming the victim's identity and Carlomagno's arrest for aggravated murder as the body was exhumed from a shallow grave. In the evening, headlines were split between the gruesome details of the femicide, a catastrophic high-speed train collision in Córdoba, Spain, and the EU's consideration of a 93-billion-euro retaliatory tariff package against the United States.
